My review of Last Name by Rebecca Sharp


Carrie Bishop has come to Lake Tahoe after a bad breakup and is ready to get focused on her job as a recreation director at Lake Tahoe Resort and Casino but knows it is coming to an end when the hotel is sold. She heads to Las Vegas for a girls weekend when she is saved by a hot guy who helps her get away from a guy who is a little to hands on for her liking.

The night ends up being one of the best she has ever had but in the morning she finds herself with a ring on her finger and no groom in sight.

Yet Monday morning she discovers that her new husband is her new boss, James Arden and he’s right about to fire her!

This is another great book by this author and I continually laugh my way through her books!
I really liked Carrie and I loved that she moved clear across the country to begin her life again after catching her ex cheating on her. I liked that she was really trying to experience Vegas and I loved the idea of a scavenger hunt and I definitely think I need to do one next time I go down there.

James was a wonderful character and I loved the way he took Carrie under his wing and showed her all the sights of Vegas and stuck with her when she got separated from her friends. He was someone who really cared about his family and I was shocked at how far he went for his sister, Suzanne, to have her wedding where she did.

I loved when James and Carrie realized who the other was and the different reactions that each of them had. There were so many moments that made me laugh as Carrie didn’t want to be married to the boss but she also didn’t want to be fired either.

It was interesting to learn about the past relationships of both Carrie and James and how that played a role in what both were currently going through. I absolutely hated Lynn, James’ ex, but I could understand how Suzanne was still friends with her when she never knew the truth about events.

I was so happy after James talked to Jack and he realized everything that he had to do in order to keep Carrie!

The epilogue was awesome and I loved the way it ended and really tied into the beginning of the book!
